I should leave the house more. That way, I meet more people. And I do love people. People are amazing. And surprising. I like finding out what people are like.

When I left the house recently I bumped into an old girlfriend. Jane. She’s a people.

The two things I remember most about Jane are, firstly, Jane once said that me becoming a dad would be the making of me. And the second thing I remember about Jane is that she could only have a poo in York.

I’m not sure why Jane, one day, out of the blue, blurted out that me becoming a dad would be the making of me. I was only about twenty-five at the time.

It was twenty years later that I actually did become a dad. And Jane was right. Izobel was, and is, the making of me. Super-astute, Jane.

Jane and I lived together for a short time. In Newcastle. And, one day, she mentioned that she only really felt comfortable pooing in her family home in York. So, every now and then, she’d set off in her little mini – to York. For a poo.

I never questioned it. Well, you wouldn’t would you?

I should leave the house more. That way, I meet more people. And I do love people. People are amazing. And surprising. I like finding out – or remembering – what people are like.
